Nice review. It's always been interesting for me to have folks that don't share entirely(or at all) in their philosophy to vibe on them both musically
and to respect them for their passion for what they write about.

Obviously I am not straight edge, but one thing I have always been abel to identify with them on is their hatred of drug dealers. I have in the past
taken a very militant stance against such people and I am talking about action not words.
Earth Crisis has had such a long dedication to what they believe in and just for that alone I will always support them. Not to mention their music is
crushing.

ExC were one of the first 'heavy hardcore' bands i heard so they've always been a big influence musically.
I dig everything up to Gomorrah's Season Ends (except for the All Out War EP, that's kinda weak).
i caught em in NYC around the time GSE came out and a SXE friend of mine at the time was interviewing Karl for his zine. I went in there totally
prepared to launch some attack on the whole pro-life stance but he turned out to be a very chilled out open-minded dude.
i think the fact they were very vocal about certain subjects made them an easy target for a lot critics but i can't say i've ever really let it bother
me.

^^^^ I am in the same boat. Back then it was almost ironic how much I liked them as a band bit the message went right past me. Now, the message makes
complete sense and the music is still very good.

I know it's unfair of me to right this band off without ever bothered listening to them but for some reason I have never been able to really get into
any straightedge bands.
Support the arts, shoot a rapper.

Hey dude you like what you like. I am the same way with Christian hardcore. I remember that band No Innocent Victim and when I heard them I loved
them. As soon as I found out they were Christian hardcore I was over it. Close minded perhaps, but that's just the way it is.

I've always been open to Christian hardcore. That's probably because I grew up in a hick town in northern Indiana and the tiny little hardcore scene
we had was essentially all Christian bands but the one I was in. So along side AF, Warzone, Madball, ExC, Strife and what not I was listening to NIV,
xDisciplex, Unashamed, Strongarm, Zao and Focal Point.
Never stopped me from thinking the majority of the Christian hc kids were douches though. They were, often far more judgey than vegan straight edge
kids have ever been and just as clicky as anybody else. It was always a blast fucking with them.

I saw Earth Crisis a few times, and was always entertained while drunk, but I only listen to them once or twice a year. I never minded the militant
lyrics, but sometimes I found them a bit over the top. On the other hand, I respect the fact that they never backed down or changed their beliefs.

Strongarm. They were alright. That one album with the green cover and the bridge on the front. Good shit.

Completely agree. I would always ask them to "forgive me" but that just pissed them off. xSolidarityx is a band I listen to often while running.

I've been jamming it non-stop since Tuesday. Very good release. The cover artwork is pretty rad as well. That bird is badass. HAHAHA

I like it a whole lot better than To The Death. For some reason though, Earth Crisis has lost some of their power for me. Good record though. Still
like Destroy The Machines better.

^^^^ I agree with this statement. I wasn't feeling "to the death" either.
